Denied
The Board denied earlier effective dates for service connection and ratings related to chronic renal failure, peripheral neuropathy of the left lower extremity, and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier date for the Veteran's claims due to the lack of continuous pursuit or adequate documentation prior to the specific filing dates.
